wow pretty problematic
- what do you mean by that?
  
  It's not my job to educate you

While it’s concerning that this even made my top 5, the fact that I’m the in top 0.01% of listeners for this song makes me want to reconsider some of my life choices.
- I have no idea what this is, but it looks hilarious
- I'm in the top .001% of listeners for my top song this year. I regret nothing. In fact, I am listening to the song right now.
  
  I haven't seen the show but I went to listen to it. It slaps for sure. Sounds like Voltaire in the beginning there (sorry for the YT Music link, I don't use Spotify, I prefer ublock origin + youtube music when using a computer)

Because this post made me intrigued enough to look I'm posting:
- Finally someone my age posts theirs.
  
  Is there an age that listens to that?
- MM is the greatest band that ever existed.
  
  I mean, they're a pretty good band. But god, who'd wanna be such an asshole?

here's mine
- Tom Cardy, hell yeah!
  
  You've got a beautiful mind
- wow pretty problematic
  Actually I never even heard of any of those artists and never used spotify or any other streaming services. I only buy or torrent flac. Oh and soulseek is still up since 2001
  
  Dunno the others, but Ren is pretty great. Kinda salty he blew up though - he used to be a great recommendation to give people, and now everyone knows him.
- Is 48k minutes a lot LMAO
  
  <.<
  
  I got 49k minutes and it said I'm in the top 5% of listeners. So decently far up there, I'd say!
  
  I got 76k, so no(?)
  
  60k here!
- Oh hey, another willy enjoyer huh?
- Ren and grandson are very problematic
  
  Care to elaborate?

Normalize pirating 'problematic' artists, some tracks are bangers even if they're from terrible people

I listen to too much music... only like 16% of the year (excluding December)
- Wow, pretty problematic
  
  What do you mean by that?
- Found the rhythm gamer
- My man! Kindred spirits.
- Yooo I came in at 11% and thought I was wild!
- I didn't think I'd find someone to top my 45,000 minutes
- ayyyee based fellow JEDM listener 🤝

Mann gegen mann is the best gay anthem made by a heterosexual, change my mind
- Mann Gegan Mann is a fuckin banger, 2000's Rammstein was peak culture
- Indeed. And I love their newest album too. They still make such bangers after so many years!!

Here's my Spotify list for 2024:
It's blank because I don't do subscription bullshit or ads. I probably bought about 10 CD albums this year though and they became MP3s in my Plex library.
Plex top tracks play count:
Soundgarden
Jimi Hendrix
John Frusciante
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ratatat
Meat Puppets
Lettuce
Lotus
Wellwater Conspiracy
TAUK
- they became MP3s
  No flac? HERESY
- wow pretty problematic
- I wish I could still get something out of ratatat. Its like when you watch your favourite genre of porn until it just doesn't work anymore.
- TAUK TUAH

One of these things is not like the others! lol
Overall makes sense though, considering Jack White has always been a favorite of mine and an inspiration with my guitar playing.
- HA! Hey same.
  I both completely obsessed over his new album this year and played a ton of guitar on the back of it!
  
  Love it! Really loved the first half of the new album and it definitely inspired me to play more.
  Saw him live a year or two ago and it was awesome. Definitely need to go again :)

Made me look at my replay. Feel like my music selection was a bit erratic this year.
- Wow. Pretty problematic.
  
  What do you mean by that?
- Will Wood!!
  Small world, loved his shows when I lived in the Tristate
  
  Would like to see him live one day, the recordings always looked fun. Don't think he regularly comes to my side of the pond, though.
- Wow. Ganz schön problematisch
  
  Was meinst du damit?
- I too do not like most of Faber's new album.
  
  I mean, I get what he's going for. It's just mostly less fun to listen to than the earlier stuff.

- Wow, very problematic
  
  How is that problematic?

I guess I'm not really a "music" person as such.
(I'm surprised it was still even logged in)
- Wow. Pretty problematic.
  
  What do you mean by that?

(I switched to Tidal in August. Much better audio quality)
- Wow pretty problematic
  
  What do you mean with that?
- Qobuz is better because I'm not forced to suffer listening to music ruined by MQA encoding.
  
  I'm enough of an audiophile that I have some really nice speakers and a Schiit DAC and amp
  But I'm not audiophile enough to care about different encodings.
  At some point, I just wanna listen to the darn music

I find it gnarly how the shit I listen to on loop while I sleep doesn't even seem to get counted.
- Spotify knows you're not REALLY listening to it

Ooh neat

E: looks like June was a Pink Pilates Princess Hollywood Pop kinda month for me.

Ah what the heck
- Mineral and Rainer Maria. Pretty solid.

Problem? What problem?

Don't judge because of Eminem 😭, the new album came out this year I think, I don't remember listening that much more to him.
- id judge more for the death grips tbh
- Normalize listening to Eminem tbh
  A friend I made back in high school told me recently that when he was in middle school (diff school), people would mock him for listening to Eminem and said he should be listening to Tupac and Biggie. I told him that these people can fuck right off, there's nothing wrong with listening to Eminem or any other artist YOU like. Music snobs suck ass. I like Pac and Biggie, but I don't idolize them, they're not special heroes to me because I'm pasty white and from another continent entirely. I don't know their struggle even. I don't know Em's struggle either (shocker, I know, but my mom isn't a drug addict and hasn't sued me, nor are my friends getting gunned down), but I like his flow and the anger in his earlier songs. Best part is, we both would've been around 1 when Pac died. Some 10-13 years later, the kids saying "oh you should listen to Pac and Biggie not Eminem" are probably saying it because they've HEARD they need to like Pac and Biggie if they're into hip hop. I could barely tell what was going on in their songs when I was 13 or 14, took me until much later to even know anything about the culture.
  Eminem's had banger tracks in every single album he's done IMO. Tbh I might've missed one or two of the newer albums, but I doubt it's changed. The man can murder with words.
  If I was a snob, I'd say you need to be listening to Aesop Rock for style and vocabulary or Immortal Technique for commentary, but fuck that, you can like multiple artists and they don't all have to be struggling, or have a deep, message, or anything really. Plus eminem is a GOAT in his own right at this point.
  Yes I'm a huge Eminem fan, but much of this applies to any other artist too. If your favorite metal band is Metallica... So what? Yeah they're mainstream and they're assholes, but the music isn't bad, you're allowed to like it.
- Damn
- No judgment for emeinem. He gets a lot of hate nowadays but dude is absolutely foundational to modern rap music

I can't tell whether this means Coletta is criminally underrated or I'm just way too into them.

I mostly listen on Spotube, but it was still mostly these same songs/artists for thousands of minutes

It was so funny watching mine with my partner right after watching hers, bc her's was mostly like workout hiphop songs and then mine's like
death is marching ☺
death is marching 🥰
little tortoise 🐢✨💕

Consistency is key😎

Seems like I've been listening to a lot of lofi for study purposes. At least once 386 minutes at a time.

What is "Spotify wrapped"?
Edit: ok i get it now
- the unsuccessful sequel to Jesus wept

based

Can't paste images for some reason, but here's mine:
NOTHING MORE
Conquer Divide
ANKOR
Caskets
Of Virtue
Achieved .05% top listener for Conquer Divide and .1% for Nothing More. Played almost daily most of the year.
- Chemicals by Conquer Divide is heavy in my rotation, they're pretty good

This years wrapped was a real wake up call. Being in the top 1% bullet of my Valentine listener feels like a cry for help. I stand by the home team since they're actually good.
- Wow pretty emo.

Educate this 👇

my list

definitely was not expecting an all sleep token too 5 song but that's the band me and my partner tend to listen to the most together so it makes sense
